We hadn’t really celebrated with birthday parties for the twins in either of their first two years so we decided (last-minute) to celebrate this year. It was a two-day celebration and the twins were quite excited to…

This morning, as I usually do, I sat at the computer for a few minutes to check email, the newspaper, weather, etc. My daughter, Jacqueline, who will be three years old on Saturday, walked in…
This morning, yes, April 11th, the twins were playing on the floor near me and they broke out in song. Today’s song was a lengthy, 3-year old inspired, rendition of the Spring Classic, Jingle Bells.…
From the other room I hear the twins singing their best version of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, then the singing ends; abruptly. I hear the rapid pitter-patter of Jacqueline’s feet (one bare, one with a…
Theodore and Jacqueline asked me for a snack. In this case they wanted some fruit snacks. Or as Theodore says, “fruit nacks”. As I rose to get them their snacks, I asked, “What do you…
The twins get some down time in their new comfy chairs while watching Dora and sitting in their favorites, Cinderella and Lightning McQueen.
Theodore and Jacqueline each enjoy a toasted cheese sandwich while relaxing on their new comfy chairs, the morning after Christmas.
It was before 7am this morning and Theodore was restlessly snuggling all around me. We were trying to be quiet as Mom and sister were still sleeping nearby. I was trying to get that extra…
I am telling you, I could not make this stuff up. This happened yesterday and I wrote it down almost as quickly as it happened so I wouldn’t forget. So, I walked into the room…
Jacqueline was sitting on the floor, playing with our cat, Demetrius, also known as “Meeches”. She was holding the cat on her lap when she turned to me and said, “Meeches wants to be a…
I can’t help myself, and I really don’t want to, if it means that I should stop thinking about the kids, the parents, the school faculty, the first responders, the families, and the community surrounding…
The twins and I were out and about for a little while this morning and I had to share some commentary from the back row of the van. First, “London Bridge” was playing on the…
Sebastian leads the hiking crew on Stark Pond while the twins are ready to use their newly fashioned walking sticks. This was on Veteran’s Day 2012.
As promised, Halloween 2012 pictures. I know this was back in early November (thanks to SS Sandy), but I have been busy. Actually, there’s no excuse. Better late than never. So, here they are; Cinderella…
Theodore and Jacqueline have both been coughing and congested for a week or so now. So I have gone through dozens of tissues, blown noses, wipes, and the charade of mixing it up to keep…
After a morning visit to My Gym in Bedford, the twins and I came home for two hours of outdoor time before attempting naps. I raked leaves and gathered wood while the twins ran around…
My little sponges Jacqueline and Theodore while playing in the family room this morning, were carrying on as if completely alone. First, Jacqueline, while carrying a stuffed animal dog, was babbling lyrics. In this order,…
Here are a couple of pictures that were taken while we were at the Lazy Moose Cabin in Mount Chase, Maine earlier this summer.
This is Theodore executing, perfectly, a timeout. Notice in his left hand is his trusty sidekick, McQueen. I put these pictures up because they’re cute and they also reflect an illustration of behavior. If we…
Theodore leans forward to hug his sister Jacqueline while out on the dock at Abrams Pond.
Yesterday the twins and I made a stop at the airport as we often do. This time we went to a different location alongside a long runway that runs East-West. This place has a larger…
Aside from wanting to be a professional ball player, my second choice was to grow up and be a cowboy. Well, I am batting .000 on those careers, but maybe Theodore will take one of…
Elm Brook Park, Memorial Day, 2012 Thank you to the special group of individuals that make up our armed forces for the freedoms we enjoy so that we can take in moments such as these.…
Yesterday I let the twins pick out their own socks. After several socks were put on, swapped, doubled up, and traded, this is what they ended up with. They thought that pants were not necessary…
This morning our two-year old twins were playing nicely and interacting peacefully with one another when the following dialogue occurred. First, just to quickly set the stage, Jacqueline was sitting on the couch playing with…
This morning I put on the latest episode of the TV show “Wild Justice” to watch with the twins. They love to see animals on TV and this show has plenty of animals to see.…
This morning we had our sliding glass doors open so the twins could play inside and out. We do this often, when it’s mild enough, allowing the twins to play outside on the deck, and…
The sky was blue. Pure, deep blue. To the east the sun brightened the blue to a glow so bright I had to look away. As I brought my gaze down toward the horizon the…
In this case the twin sister taketh and the twin sister giveth back, well sort of. Recently a series of interactions appear to have taken the form of a routine between the twins. This morning…
